Quote: The inconsistency I most notice with liberals is that they support abortion but oppose the death penalty.
There is no inconsistency and your argument is tu quoque. (appeal to hypocrisy)
However,as far as I'm aware, most pro life people reject the claim that a first trimester foetus is a person. (as do I) A condemned felon is usually an adult being punished for his actions,which are deemed to have been the result of a free and informed choice ..
Me? I'm pro choice, seeing abortion only as a medical procedure,between the woman and her doctor . Nor do I see anything"special'' about humans. We are just another species.Our sentience makes us arrogant and self important.
I have no problem with the state killing people who say rape and/or murder a child or who commit murder for personal gain. AS LONG AS a safe conviction is guaranteed. I do not agree with killing people over politics. EG treason.
